The invention relates to an apparatus for granulating corn-cob mix and for conveying the granulate into a silo, transport truck or the like, including a mill comprising an integrated blower and a conveyor pipe joined tangentially to the blower. The mill is constituted by a beater mill that comprises a blower located behind a sieve within a circular casing and having a rotor arranged concentrically therein. A suction pipe is connected to the beater mill and comprises a secondary air opening adjustable in width, the suction pipe passing into a chamber supplied with the material which is to be milled from a reception container by means of a conveyor screw or other conveying means and the width of the suction pipe is greater by 35-70% than the width of the conveying pipe at the pressure-side of the blower. This enables the setting of the supply of material to be milled to the mill comprising a blower once, without having to undertake another governing operation.
Apparatus for granulating corn cob mix, and for conveying the granulate into a receptacle situated at a higher level than that of the apparatus, which comprises a beater mill comprising a casing divided by a sieve which determines fineness of the granulate, an integrated blower disposed in the casing behind the sieve, and a conveyor pipe tangentially connected to said blower, and directed into said receptacle, a suction pipe connected to the beater mill and provided with a secondary air opening, the aperture width thereof being adjustable, the width of said suction pipe being greater by 35 to 70% than the width of the conveyor pipe, a suction chamber disposed at a lower level than that of the beater mill for dipping thereinto said suction pipe, and conveyor means disposed in the suction chamber for feeding corn cob mix thereinto, so as to allow the corn cob mix to be sucked into the beater mill by means of said suction pipe.
